A team of federal, state and local authorities arrested three men over the weekend who have been linked to two separate but possibly related shootings in Wilmington last month, police said Monday.

Miguel Crews, 24, Deandre Sha'he Watkins, 17, and Myran Rashaad Holt, 22, all of Wilmington, were arrested Saturday by the U.S. Marshals Eastern North Carolina Violent Fugitive Task Force, which includes Wilmington police and state probation officers.

Crews and Watkins were charged with opening fire on several people standing on a porch at 207 Greendale Drive on the evening of April 28. At least one victim was hospitalized as a result of that shooting.

Holt is accused of firing birdshot at a group outside a house at 432 Clay St. on April 26. Three people were injured, including man hit in the chest.

Detective Kevin Smith said police believe Holt also was involved in the Greendale Drive shooting, though he did not go into detail.
